But free would have their brethren rise
Untarnished souls with open skies
Embrace the king of high and low
And leave the shade of shackle's woe

Some loyal hearts take homeland bleak
Where frantic reconstructions wreak
Yet few decline the call to thrive
In homeland dead but now alive.

This uplifting portent heralds a time of freedom and equality in the aftermath of the great war. It comes to pass in Book 4, when a once enslaved people are invited to embrace the king of high and low. Who do you think are the untarnished souls, and what could be their homeland dead but now alive?
